Daemon / Daemonhost - WIP

Greetings,

Finally I had some time to sit in the Library / Hunting Room / Modelling cave :)

I have been working a bit on my Daemon / Daemonhost:

Still very WIP.
Its a very basic conversion, no big flashy thing..
I have covered his mouth in flesh (ala The Matrix) to signal that Inquisitor Mannheim has submitted it to his will.
Not trusting it, he has made it a silent one, so that its whispering might not persuade him to do something foolish..

I am considering whether or not to make the daemon bound, and in that case, how much bound it will be.
Inquisitor Mannheim is very radical, utilizing daemonic lore and unholy weapons.
But I think he would still bind the daemon before using it, not totally trusting his own power over it.
He has not completely fallen from grace... yet :)

In the case I will go for a bound daemon, I am considering some kind of manacles, alternatively inscribed leather cuffs etc.

Cool that you chose a bound daemon. Have you read Eisenhorn trilogy? Daemonhosts are very powerful in the book and those are still bound :)

Nails could be represented in different ways. You could have stakes driven in to the flesh to bind him or use metal wire with a small hat of green stuff. or perhaps even use tiny nails from a hardwood store, carpet nails might work. or tiny screws for that matter

there is a great little inq badge on one of the grey knights shoulder pads. and some lovely holy relics can of course be found on the flagellant kit.

Eisenhorn is kind of a new bible to some hobbyists. It has great bits in it and good characters but to me the problem was that it is a mystery where you already know who the villain is, and odd endings. Ravenor was a bit better imo but as with eisenhorn the ending is too quick, hundreds of pages of build up and it all ends on a few pages. sight. Oh well it's all fun pulp anyway :)

About Me

A blog about the conversion and painting of Inq 28 miniatures.
Deeply inspired by Blanche, PDH, Molotov, Migsula, JRN, Neil101, Fulgrim and Krautscientist, and all my fellow Inq 28 colleagues, I strive to investigate the dark gothic universe of Warhammer 40k.
This blog will focus on the servants of the Inquisition, both the pure and the stained members of the holy orders, as they fight and conspirate to keep the Emperors peace.
